Thera-P is an all natural probiotic bacteria that works as an immune-stimulant and will out compete bad bacteria found in your aquarium and in the gut of your fish. We also dose Microbe-lift’s Thera-P to all of our goldfish tanks at Absolutely Fish. We love using aquarium salt with our goldfish because it helps with gill function and is a great way to naturally keep down disease. The desired pH range is anywhere from 7.0 to 7.6. To vary their diet you should also feed them some veggie-based foods such as dried seaweed or spirulina enriched brine shrimp. There are many available that are designed specifically for goldfish. The bulk of their diet should be a sinking pellet food. Goldfish also prefer well-oxygenated water so adding an air pump and bubbler is always a good idea. Preferably you should dedicate 20 gallons of water per 1 goldfish. Whether it’s a power filter or canister, bigger is always better and will help you from having to do such frequent water changes. It is best to go with a filter that is rated for twice the size of your aquarium. Over-filtration is key to keeping your goldfish healthy and happy. They can live for twenty years or more and can be quite messy. Here at Absolutely Fish we try our best to make our clients’ fish keeping endeavors a successful and fulfilling one.
